This is like a kicked-up potato kugel... make certain to squeeze out any excess moisture in the shredded potatoes before mixing them in with the other ingredients, you can even shred the potatoes a day ahead and leave them sit in cold water in the fridge overnight. You will love this! Ingredients:

6 -7 medium potatoes (coarsely shredded and soaked in cold water until ready to use) |
